I have had a full career as an Autism Specialist for the last 20 years and have had the opportunity to work with individuals from the ages of 2 to 65. I currently am a licensed Behavior Analyst and hold an MA in Behavior Analysis from Ball State University. I have worked with all aspects of individuals lives to include support in the areas of school, home, community, vocational support, and independent living. I have been blessed with the ability to see the world through a neurodiverse lens and have been able to offer that direct service throughout my career. I have loved working with individuals but have realized the larger impact I can have on a person’s life by looking at and working with their family system. For that reason, I chose to return back to school to earn a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy through Montreat College.
As a practicum student in marriage and family therapy, I am deeply committed to fostering positive relationships and helping individuals navigate the complexities of family dynamics. Guided by a passion for mental health and well-being, I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive space for clients to explore and address their challenges.
My journey in marriage and family therapy has equipped me with a strong foundation in therapeutic techniques and interventions. Under the guidance of experienced professionals, I am expanding my skills in active listening, empathy, and collaboration to better understand the unique needs of each client. I approach my work with an open mind and a non-judgmental attitude, recognizing the importance of cultural competence and sensitivity in the therapeutic process. Driven by a belief in the transformative power of therapy, I am eager to contribute to the well-being of individuals, couples, and families. I am continually expanding my knowledge base and staying informed about the latest developments in the field to provide the most effective and evidence-based interventions.
As a student, I embrace the opportunity to learn and grow, valuing the collaborative nature of the therapeutic journey. With a genuine commitment to helping others navigate life's challenges, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of those I have the privilege to work with.
